Literature Overview for 2009

1. We are going to read through the 5 selections (listed above) consecutively.  As you read, write down any impressions or thoughts that may be helpful to you in your life.

2.  In December you are welcome to choose a Christmas literature selection of your choice in addition to finishing The Scarlet Pimpernel.

3. Keep a notebook.  The notebook can be used for thoughts and impressions, summaries, quotes, and more.

“It is very helpful to read with a commonplace book or reading-diary, in which to put down any striking thought in your author, or your own impression of the work, or of any part of it; but not summaries of facts. Such a diary, carefully kept through life, should be exceedingly interesting as containing the intellectual history of the writer; besides, we never forget the book that we have made extracts from, and of which we have taken the trouble to write a short review.” 

-- Charlotte Mason (V, 260.)
